    True...at least as far as we know!
  • True/False: A black hole is black because it is dark in space.

    False-It is Ton-618
  • True/False: Quasars are an accretion disk that has grown to a massive size and is extremely bright.
    True
  • True/False: If Black Hole J2157 were sitting in the center of our Milky Way Galaxy (instead of Sagittarius A), it would be visible from Earth, but no life would be able to exist on our planet due to all the X-ray light it emits.
    True

    False-they can be brighter than entire galaxies.
  • True/False: A black hole is a tiny place in space that has a lot of mass, and therefore, a lot of gravity.
    True
  • True/False: Ton-618 is very far away from Earth.
    True-about 10 to 18 billion light-years away.
